    powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path check
    
    [ Upstream commit a21d1becaa3f17a97b933ffa677b526afc514ec5 ]
    
    Introduce a static branch that would be set during boot if the OS
    happens to be a KVM guest. Subsequent checks to see if we are on KVM
    will rely on this static branch. This static branch would be used in
    vcpu_is_preempted() in a subsequent patch.
